Part of my Middle Earth redesigns.

Nienna, one of the Valar, holding the last cuttings of the Two Trees in her hands.

The Valar’s designs are based off a variety of our oldest civilisations and cultures. Nienna’s starting point comes from illustrations of new kingdom Egypt and Berber headdresses, among other influences. I still wanted to introduce some colour to her, so I went with sort of mostly chromatic greys, rather than outright stark greys.
